External Ship-to Customer

This field is only used for remotely sourced orders.  It indicates the Ship-to Customer code that the vendor uses to identify the primary shipping location associated with the external company/warehouse specified.  This information is used for computer integrated distribution transactions.  It will be printed on purchase orders created for the vendor.  This field is not validated when entered in the maintenance conversation; however, if not blank, it can be used later to validate the vendor when inbound EDI processing purchase order acknowledgments and receipt requests.
